Congress…. When I think of Congress, I think of the opposite of progress. You know, pros and cons. So, when I see in the news that Congress decided to cut the benefits and pensions of active and retired military, I start to think to myself that those selfish people in Congress have their priorities wrong. I used the term “people” because this is a family friendly blog… well, I try to keep it family friendly.

Like this:

I have decided to become a progressive liberal. I have also decided to support, blindly mind you, anything Obama and his liberal friends say. I will support all UN missions inside the US and abroad. I will work hard to make the world a better place as I am now a global citizen and a huge fan of the EPA, ATF, IRS, NSA, and DOJ.

If you follow the news or watch any real amount of TV, or listen to talk radio you know that there have been controversy after controversy with Resident Obama. This guy has had more scandals than Nixon and Jim and Tammy Faye Baker combined!

So, I assume you remember that big ol’ furlough we went through last month and Ted Cruz gave an impassioned (and long) speech about defunding ObamaCare in an effort to repeal it. During that whole thing, the good (sarcasm) Senator John McCain talked about Cruz being a nutjob; an extremist.

There are a number of meltdowns I believe are coming to the US and to global markets. These things fall into economic, social, and political categories. The social and political fall pretty close together in many instances, so I’ll address those together.

I’m sure you’ve all heard about the 21 soldiers killed since the October 1 partial government shut down and how their families were not paid the death benefits owed them. You’ve probably also heard that a private charity, The Fisher House Group, will be paying the benefits on behalf of the Pentagon. However, there is more to the story.

So, for all you who love, or at least approve of, ObamaCare need to read this story. Basically, an immigrant to New Zealand gets too fat so the government there wants to deport him so he doesn’t become a liability to their GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.

You read right. Obesity has now been deemed a disease by the American Medical Association. Experts in obesity have struggled for years to have obesity recognized as a disease that deserves medical attention and insurance coverage as do other diseases. Previously the AMA and others have referred to obesity as “a major public health problem.”

The NRA is outdated and needs to go the way of the dinosaur. Did I get your attention? Well, that’s whats going to happen in the progressives have their way. I, for one, love the NRA and have been a member for years.

I walked into work this morning and was asked by no less than a dozen people how I felt about the election results. Everyone in my office knows how I feel about President Obama and his policies. I simply said, “I’m not happy about it, but the US gets the government she deserves.”

I got a call on my cell phone today from the CDC. They called to do a survey on childhood immunizations. I asked what kind of info they needed as I’d be “happy” to tell them whatever they needed to know.

It seems that every time some moron decides to go shooting people, the loons on the left go after the guns. That’s expected. It always goes that way.

My argument used to be the criminals will get the guns anyway. The only people gun control hurts are the law abiders. However, this time the guy bought the guns legally, as well as the ammo. Obviously, one of the many laws he broke was that he lied about his mental illness on the gun application. So what do we do? Do we change the laws to better control that sort of thing?
